The Home of Chinatown’s Perfect Mochi Donuts || Fork Yeah: Alimama Tea

Located in the heart of New York City's Chinatown, Alimama Tea focuses on serving unique tea blends along with revamped Asian desserts. Their menu consists primarily of their gluten-free mochi donuts, which owner Janie Wong first experienced while traveling in Asia. These naturally gluten-free rice-based donuts marry traditional Asian flavors with a touch of New York -- think matcha and Rice Krispies, or Nutella and salted caramel. Now more than ever, thanks to Instagram, people are eating with their eyes. But does all this Instagrammable food actually taste good? What’s the story behind popular new food like Taco Pizza or Cheetos Macaroons? “Fork Yeah” answers these questions head on. This series goes to the source of the latest and greatest food trends and most ‘gramable dishes to find out how they taste and what inspired the making of them.
